"My concern about proofs for the existence of God is threefold. First, they are viewed as nice but not necessary; second, plausibility is thought to be sufficient; third, they do not identify the real challenge. By way of contrast, I believe it is necessary for the central claims of Christianity that there be no excuses for unbelief. This means that all alternative views of the metaphysical absolute - what is eternal, claims about the material world existing from eternity, about God and the world being co-eternal, about the world as an illusion in the mind of eternal consciousness, must be addressed."
- Owen Anderson, in an interview by Joe Gorra (www.epsociety.org)
